Why not Nurse?

What do D-league coaches get paid?

Think it is in the $75k to $100k range. Not much NBA D-League players pretty much starve. Talked with Curtis Stinson a short while back. He said D-League is sure starvation while you chase your dream. Overseas is the way to go.

Click the link to the 15:35 mark and watch the video. Sounds like Hoiberg in a way. Plus they run some of the same sets as evidenced by the highlights shown.

I'd be good with him.

Every NBA (and now most college teams) run the same sets, Fred wasn't innovating the way the game was coached. He was just great at applying it towards players strengths. Fred's genius is in simplifying things. Regardless of our coach is, we'll be running a high ball screen 90% of the time, the rest of the time we will be isolating Georges or Nader to take advantage of mismatches to attack the basket and/or create space for shooters after the defense collapses.

Ok... then how about the comments about dealing with a constantly changing roster (within the freaking season i might add) and winning the championship against other teams with borderline NBA talent running the same sets?

At this point it has to be Altman or Otz. I really don't see the appeal of these mid-major candidates and how they position our team better for the next year. No offense but I would rather take my chances with Otz if Altman is not available.

How would Otz recruit players? Pretty easy. He would start by saying that Iowa State would continue to play Hoiball. And that Otz is personal friends and part of the Hoiberg coaching tree. Which means he has direct contact with the Coach of the Chicago Bulls. And from that contact with the rest of the NBA.

Again, Altman makes Steve Alford look sagely in his handling of sexual assault. That is not happening
 
According to my sources, Nick Nurse will not be the next basketball coach of Iowa State. I have been told he hasn't completely ruled out being a part of college basketball at some point, but it's something he is not into now as he hasn't been associated with college athletics since his time at South Dakota in 1995 (unless you count the brief stint with Iowa State in 2010 before McDermott left). The NBA is where he feels comfortable and plans to be with the Toronto Raptors organization in the forseeable future.

I thought Altman suspended them asap. Am I wrong?

Disagree with that assessment. In the Alford case Pierre Pierce pled guilty to assault causing injury in a sexual assault and was allowed to remain on scholarship and on the team. In the Oregon players case it was a player who transferred who had been suspended from his previous team, because of allegations....no charges filed.

You need to understand the difference between charges being actually filed......and a conviction. And in the case of Brandon Austin there were not even charges filed.

Brandon Austin is obviously a player to steer away from. No athletic department needs to take that kind of chance. Not defending his conduct at all. IMO, athletes should conduct themselves properly. At the same time he does not have a criminal record.

It appears Brandon Austin has transferred from Oregon and is on scholarship at a new school.
